The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs shall preside over and coordinate with relevant ministries, agencies and localities to urge, monitor, inspect and guide localities, enterprises and employers to implement tasks of caring for the lives, regimes, policies and ensuring social security for workers and laborers working at construction sites before, during and after Tet.
Coordinate with localities to organize activities to visit and give gifts to workers and laborers at construction sites.
Propose that the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor direct trade unions at all levels to closely coordinate with the People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities and the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs to grasp the labor and employment situation, inspect and supervise the payment of wages and bonuses at units and enterprises.
There are plans to support and care for the lives of workers and laborers, especially those who stay behind to work on construction sites and projects during Tet, ensuring timely and practical support, especially for the poor and those in difficult circumstances.
Investors, project management boards, and construction contractors organize New Year's Eve and Tet celebrations suitable for workers and laborers on construction sites with the spirit of "Tet on construction sites does not lack love at home", ensuring joy, health, warmth, safety and savings, encouraging workers and laborers to work enthusiastically, speeding up progress and ensuring the quality of the projects.
